Now that the OST is out, they put out the two version of "Crescent Moon Dance". We heard them both play the solo as part of a challenge, but now listen to them in performing with the group.
(see this topic for the full track listing - http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1398189)

Both are on "disc 2"
Track 15 - Mikazuki no Mai (Kaori Trumpet Solo Ver.)
Track 16 - Mikazuki no Mai (Reina Trumpet Solo Ver.)

What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

Both renditions have their strong points and express their players' personalities very well. Kaori's solo meshes better and more cooperatively with the rest of the band, while Reina's version is clearly much stronger and stands out on its own; the band feels weaker or almost "subservient" to her trumpet.

I do think both solos have a lot going for them, but based on the story, kousaka’s solo is just written to be better and to convey the message that the musician is the best. Kaori’s solo just loses an uphill battle in my opinion
